Motorola Droid Razr - Installing Jelly Bean (CyanogenMod 10)

[YellowJacket]

So far 10.2 is a keeper.
Read the changelog and will probably pull the update tonight or tomorrow. I've been getting great battery life with the build I'm running.... 48+ hours without a charge and I hit 4% when I got in my car today and finally plugged it in. I'm working in a rather old hospital with rather spotty coverage in a lot of areas, although Verizon is the best of all the carriers in my area.

So I went into the wifi advanced settings and turned off "scanning always available" and my battery life at the end of a 12 hour shift in the pit was a whopping 75% remaining!!!

I'm rocking the 8/21 nightly now and its rock solid stable. No crashes and extremely fast and smooth.

What exactly is not working!? Most importantly is data, WiFi tether and, camera

Is it odd that I'm excited about trying this tomorrow?

I installed it using safestrap and im not that impressed but i use my camera a lot so that was a negative for me.

Running CM10.2 with Android 4/3 and loving it! Battery is EXCELLENT!!!!

Was running Cm10.1 for 4 months and tried a dirty flash of .2 which caused issues for me. Knew it wasn't the best thing to do, and knew a fresh and clean install is always better. However, as a Noob, I decided to give it a try, just to have a reflash experience and see what happens Figured I had to do a clean install install eventually But, having a problem, solving it, and seeing it, is a great learning experience! Glad I tried it.

Here's my experience with my Xt912:
1. Wiped my entire phone first using Matt's Utility to restore JB OTA .16 (stock). Tested.
2. Rooted, also using Matts Utility. Tested.
3. Ran Titanium Backup Pro.
4. Restored apps from prior TiBU to stock side. (Never install TiBu system files!. Just back up apps and data.)
5. Installed Safestrap Tested boot to stock and tested stock boot from within SS.
6. Booted into SS and did nandroid backup - must do because it backups up entire phone.
7 Installed CM.2 and Gapps to slot 1.
8. Tested boot from Slot 1 and stock boot.
9. Booted into Cm10.2, restored apps from TiBu backup, and then backed up and created new backup.

These links always help me!! I keep them handy and nearby If u are new to this, research, read and learn prior to jumping in!!!

If u need help, pls visit forums. --- I'm only sharing my "How To" experience with you. The only fixes I know are WIPES, because I am an elevated NOOB. HA HA! I spent hours and hours of reading and watching videos, and asking questions in forums, prior to rooting!! glad I did because u learn from it. Simply being told how to do something (without any knowledge of good or bad results) is dangerous.

Good luck and keep this page handy. One day u may use it
